Chapter 7
--
Jack and Crystal walked up to the lodging house. It was late, and a lot of the newsies were getting ready for bed. But Crystal and Jack went over to the couch in the living room and sat by the fire. Jack held Crystal in his arms as the couple sat there, staring at the flames flicker. They didn't need to talk, they both enjoyed being in each other's company. But, Crystal had the sudden urge to say something.
"Jack," she said, "Isn't strange how things can change so fast?"
"Yeah," he said, smiling down at her, "But I think it changed for the better."
"Me too," Crystal agreed, "But it seems like my life is just flashing before my eyes. One moment I'm just coming to Manhattan, then I'm going out with Blink, then I find he's cheated on me, and now I'm sitting here with you. It's just crazy how time flies."
"Yeah," he said again, holding her tighter. Crystal looked up at him and smiled, then kissed him ever so softly. Then they broke apart and fell asleep on the couch.
The Next Morning...
Jack and Crystal had slept there all night. Crystal woke up before Jack, and looked around, "How long was I sleeping?" she thought to herself. Then Jack woke up, streched out his arms, and said, "Hey," in that charming tone of voice he always used.
"Hey," said Crystal in return. She hugged up next to him and starting kissing him again, then Blink came in. He was just standing there, staring, like she was doing something wrong.
Crystal looked up, "What?" she asked to Blink. Blink still just stood there, looking angry now. Then Crystal said, "I'm not the one who cheated on you! Anyways, I broke up with you!"
Blink still stared at them, and then finally said, "Don't you think this is too soon? I'm sorry for what I did."
Crystal looked back at him and said, "You can be sorry, but I don't know if I can forgive you. You don't have the slightest idea how I felt after finding out! And anyways, I don't think this is too early, this thing with me and Jack, because I guess I really have loved Jack all this time." Jack was just sitting there, awkwardly, with a blank yet suprised expression on his face.
"Oh, really," said Blink kind of angrily, then he walked off.
Crystal looked back at Jack, "Now, where we where we? Oh! I remember!" Then they starting kissing again, well, more like making out. Then all the newsies came in.
"Whoa, look what we have heah!" commented Race, with an added snicker at the end. Some of the newsies chuckled a bit.
"So," said Skittery, "Is you'se and Crystal tuhgetta now er somthin'?"
"Yup," said Jack optomistically, while smiling at Crystal.
"Okay, then," said Race, "We don't wanna distoib ya's er nuttin'. C'mon, fellas, let's get outta heah." And the newsboys left to go buy there papes.
"We better head off to sell papes, too." said Crystal, while trying to get up from the couch.
"Wait," said Jack, "Just one more kiss?"
"Well," said Crystal, "I'll hafta charge ya!" Jack smiled and rolled his eyes, then got up to kiss her again. Then they headed off to the circulation desk, since they didn't need to change because they had slept in there clothes.
"Wait a minute," said Crystal, "I forgot my change, Jack you go on ahead!"
"M'kay," said Jack sleepily, as he headed out the door. As Crystal went back into the bedroom to get her change, she heard some footsteps creeping toward her.
"Hello?" she asked suspiciously, "Is anyone, uh, there?" she looked around, she didn't see anyone.
So she reached down for her change, and when she did a pair of cold hands covered her mouth and the strange person said, "You're coming with me, missy," Crystal squirmed and squealed and tryed to get away. But her kidnapper had already blindfolded her and bounded her hands. She was now match for the person. She was tall, but not very strong, and her kidnapper seemed to be very strong, by the way he was grabbing her arms so tightly. "Get off me!" she squealed, yet her voice was muffled. The kidnapper was laughing and said, "Don't worry, you'll be just fine,"
